Hill of Shooting-Range. A shooting-range was established here during the Polish Occupation period and then it was used by Germans. There were wooden rails at the feet of the hill that were used for pulling a trolley with attached targets. A cottage stood at the edge of the forest from which they used to shots at the moving target-trolley. The high slope would "absorb" the shots that missed the target. Village children used to look for lead from bullets for their fishing-rods. They used to slide down the sand and look for any piece of a bullet that could come to the surface.
